Hi

So, I had my op on Oct 31. Am drinking the entire mixed shake without feeling full. Have eaten a whole tin of soup and still not full. Weight is already yo-yoing..

Help!

I wasn't full on liquids either. It takes solids- protein to fill me up. The first time I ate grilled chicken was when I knew I had done the right thing by having this surgery. One small grilled chicken nugget from Chick Fil A filled me up and was so great! You will be fine, just hang in there until you get to real food!

I agree I was 11/2 and can easily think an 11oz protein shake but when I started eating puréed meats, cottage cheeses, refrained beans etc, I started to feel full. It is a slightly different full but it is full. I suggest measure your food and then stop after eating it slowly and then wait. You will be full. You just have to then wait out your 45 minutes to an hour and start on your water intake. It works!

I had the same problem on liquids and was terrified that this wasn't going to work for me... once they start letting me eat solids it was a whole new ball game and I'm full on nearly nothing. Even my children laugh at how little I can eat.

I say consider yourself lucky because for me being like that has made this entire process pretty easy... I can tolerate most foods and have no problem getting my shakes down .
